Hero — Service

Hero entered my life when I was 17 years old. I was anti social, had family issues and didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I was not planning on making him my service dog until I realized how much he could help me. Working through ongoing medical issues and pushing me to overcome some hurdles, he gave me a future I was excited about. Together we have traveled to every state in the USA, performed on the largest stages and most importantly he became the Hero I truly needed.

Hero and I placed 5th on America’s Got Talent in 2017 and were able to meet and talk to so many incredible people! We have been using our platforms to help educate and bring awareness to service dogs. I am so thankful that Hero is such a stable dog and has been able to handle other dogs in public. Hopefully as we continue to educate we can make a difference.

Going into his 8th year with me, he is starting to slow down and I am having to make the hard decision to retire him. I am hoping that our last working year together can be as memorable as the past 8 amazing years.

Everyone Needs a Hero & I’m so glad I found mine.
